Recipe of the Snack
The recipe for cheese wheatmeal cookies is quite simple and healthy, so we cook them today. First of all, you need to prepare all the ingredients. Sift 100 g wholemeal flour and 50 g self-raising flour, get 100 g butter and 100 g cheese, one egg, and 25 g medium oatmeal from the refrigerator (Barrett, 1). Secondly, you have to turn on the oven at 350℉ so that it warms up while you prepare a dough. If you have not used an oven before, ask adults to show you how it works. After that, you need to put soft butter in a large bowl, add flour and oatmeal to it and mix well. Then, finely grate a piece of cheese and add to the butter. You also need to separate the yolk, and for this purpose, you have to break the egg over a glass or plate carefully and free the whites by pouring the yolk from one half of the shell to the other, but holding it inside. Add the yolk to the butter and knead all the ingredients with a fork until a dough is ready.
Next, you need to put the dough between two sheets of parchment and roll it to a thickness of 1 inch by using a rolling pin. Now, you can cut out cookies of any shape from the rolled dough, transfer them to a non-stick baking sheet, and put them in the oven for 10-15 minutes until they have a golden brown color. You can also simply roll the dough balls, put them on a baking sheet and slightly press down with a fork to get a different shape of cookies. When the cookies are ready, give them time to cool and put them on a plate.
Approach
I focused on three aspects of writing to prepare this paper. These aspects are the healthiness of the snack recipe and its ease, the need for additional explanations and cautions, as well as the features of the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). All of these elements are important for drawing up the correct structure and understandable text of a recipe for children.
The first feature that I considered is that the snack should be tasty and healthy for children. For this reason, I chose cheese cookies as it has a salty taste like crackers, but are not as harmful as chips or cheese balls. I also wanted the recipe to be simple without slicing and long kneading, and in the cheese wheatmeal cookies recipe, the most difficult process is to grate the cheese and mix all ingredients. I also added details on how to separate the yolk, since the children were unlikely to use such a procedure before, but it is easy to do without parents’ assistance. However, I remembered that parents’ help is needed to use the oven because it can be dangerous for children. I also looked at SWS style quoting tips, since although I know the cooking steps, I don’t remember the exact proportions of the products, so I found them on the BBC website. I have also used the advice that writing work is better in an active voice. The last step was checking of formatting rule according to SWS, editing, and fixing the text.
In conclusion, just a few simple steps and recommendations helped me write the document and make it appropriate for the purpose and readers. The essential elements for creating content were knowing the features of the children’s audience and adding useful details to make them easier to understand. Tips and rules of the Strayer Writing Standards were needed to edit and format text, as well as a proper citation.
